A father is accused by his wife of being too strict with his son. He asks the opinion of Internet users.
Is this dad more strict with his son? Mark is the father of a 17 year old teenager, Cass and an 8 year old little boy, Mark. The children are not from the same union and the father explains that he is divorced from Cass’ mother and that he does not see his daughter very often. As he writes his story, he lives with Mark’s mother and tends to be more severe with his son who has a strong character, than with his daughter who is rather sensitivein his words.
Cass recently broke her new month-old iPhone and asked her dad for money to fix it. “Since I rarely get the chance to do stuff for Cass, I said yes, sent her the money and told her I wasn’t mad, it was an accident, but you had to be more careful with your devices“, he explained. But a week later it was Mark’s turn to break his iPad.”I told Mark it was his fault and he’ll have to wait a while before his iPad gets fixed and I give him money for it. I hope this will teach him to be more responsible“, he said. His son was punished for two weeks. That’s when the father’s wife intervened, denouncing the injustice of his punishment, especially since Mark has problems with his The father then turned to Reddit* to seek the opinion of users.

Forum users still point out that the father suffers from a certain guilt. “As a father myself, I find this behavior disappointing. You feel guilty for living away from your daughter and not seeing her often, but how will you feel in a few years when your son won’t want to see you anymore because of the blatant favoritism?“wrote one of them.
Another person finds the father’s attitude towards his son deplorable. He lists the reasons:1) You punished as you did an EIGHT-YEAR-OLD CHILD; 2) He took good care of his iPad for two years before having an accident when your daughter broke her iPhone in 1 month; 3) You make him resent his stepsister just because you feel guilty. Cheer ; 4) If Mark has motor problems, you punish him for something he has no control over.”
